Fallback Topics (Low Priority)

These are topic ideas that would be interesting to discuss, but don't need to be discussed soon.

Viewer "modes" (e.g. exploring, building, scripting) that affect the interface of the viewer. (Suggested by Tegg, 23:15, 4 June 2009 (UTC))
Customizable toolbars and menus, choose actions from a "palette". (Suggested by Geneko, 23:15, 4 June 2009 (UTC))
Improving the Build/Edit floater and tools. (Suggested by Charlette, 23:15, 4 June 2009 (UTC))
Making the viewer more stable against griefer attacks e.g. excessive script dialogs crashing the viewer. (Suggested by Charlette, 23:15, 4 June 2009 (UTC))
SL <--> OpenSim and OpenSim <--> OpenSim grid interoperability issues and possible improvements. (Suggested by Morgaine, 23:15, 4 June 2009 (UTC))
Misc. featurette (small feature) ideas. (Suggested by Geneko, 23:15, 4 June 2009 (UTC))
Improving the pie menu layout and structure to be better and more internally consistent. (Suggested by Tegg, 23:15, 4 June 2009 (UTC))
Keyboard shortcuts that should be added or removed. (Jacek Antonelli 23:15, 4 June 2009 (UTC))
Useful Advanced menu items that should be promoted to better locations in the viewer. (Jacek Antonelli 23:15, 4 June 2009 (UTC))

-* Over on SLDev Philip Linden talked about a project for a summer intern to do mocap gesture recognition with a standard webcam that would display somehow in the virtual world.  This isn't meant to be full mocap for animation; it's just meant to indicate conversational cues.  See [[Gesture_Recognition]].  So the questions are:
+* ''(Edit the page to add yours here!)''
-**  Which gestures are worth recognizing?
-**  How do you "mute" (I guess that would be "blind") the camera?
-**  Should it be a selective blinding, e.g. monitor the face but not the hands or body, or the hands only, or the position only?
-**  Can you used canned animations for display or do you need puppeteering?
-**  Would this be useful for one-on-one conversations?  Cassual group conversation?  Formal presentations?
-**  Do the types of gestures used depend on the situation?  Maybe monitor walking movements for a formal presentation, but not when the presenter is sitting at the computer.
-**  Should there be lots of configuration options or few?
-**  And so on...
-I think if you invite Merov Linden (he showed up at an earlier meeting) he would be very interested in the topic, since he is, I believe, the mentor for the summer intern.([[User:Mm Alder|Mm Alder]] 17:46, 8 June 2009 (UTC))
